Old online multiplayer game. Capture the flag as a fing jedi!! Plus the skill level you coyld reach, not by leveling up, but just being good was insane. One person could take entire team, if they were good enough.
I loved the first two Dark Forces games like a fat kid loves cake, but I never got to play that one. Dark Forces II was definitely one of my all time favorite games. It was the first game that you could be a jedi in, and the first game that ever let you use force lightning on unsuspecting stormtroopers. Glorious.

Jesus...do yourself a favor and play it, then. I'd wager it hasn't been long enough for the graphics to be intolerable (it was the Quake III engine). It was everything I ever wanted in a Star Wars game. It kicked Jedi Knight's ass in every way possible.

I might have to do that. And find a new copy of Jedi Knight. I might just have a nostalgiagasm.

Oh god. I remember playing that and never getting farther than like ten minutes into it about a million times back in elementary school computer classes. Same with Oregon Trail. Although, I did manage to find the time to beat that game.

I completely agree with Arkham Asylum... great damn game, even for people who might not be huge fans of Batman (I am, though).

I'm on the fence about Fallout 3... the whole time I played it I kept thinking "this is just like Oblivion but in the future... And with guns... I should love this" but it just never caught on for me. Maybe the atmosphere was just too depressing. And the ending severely pissed me off. Still haven't played New Vegas.

On that note, I finally picked up Skyrim... Wow. I shouldn't have done that... I have a thesis to write...
Get Heavy Rain, it's not your conventional video game in that the action sequences rely on controller skill and that the game revolves around trying to solve the case of the Origami Killer from 4 different characters perspectives. As you may imagine this can lead the game into so many different tangents with the many possible life or death choices you can make with each character. It's the most emotionally investing game I've ever played I think, you genuinely get into the characters and their stories.

Arkham Asylum and Uncharted 2 were pretty close for me in which was better as both have many similarities in being fun adventure games that have their own unique personalities and traits. Uncharted's story, variety and re-playability edged it though.

It depends on what you want from a video game with Fallout 3. If you want to be engrossed in your own little world where you can do whatever the hell you want, it's for you. If you take it too seriously then, you're probably better off with Football Manager or something. I love Fallout 3 and am actually replaying it at the moment and rediscovering its magic.

I'm not a big fan of first person shooters, as you can probably tell from my list. I don't mind them and can play COD or Battlefield for an hour or so online, but they don't have much substance in my opinion. They're pretty mindless.

Red Dead Redemption I see as the game that got away. I really need to play it, just haven't gotten round to it. Everyone's always told me how great it is and I don't doubt them.

Holy ****, hit a party this weekend and homeboy had one of these in his billiard room. Played this **** til the wee hours. I miss arcade style games, flood of great memories with this game.

Red Dead Redemption was so good, captured the western feel so well and combined the American and the Spaghetti western superbly.

I used to love playing Carmen Sandiego in IT class at primary school. But it was strictly class that I would play it. I'd be too busy playing street fighter or zelda or something at home.
